fMT


fMT is a metallothionein, binding Arsenite(III) and Arsenate(V), it has higher affinity for As(III). Overexpression of fMT can be used to accumulate Arsenic without toxification of the cells.

Design Notes

Add BioBrick prefix and suffix, also a RBS (B0034) will be added (not in sequence yet)

Source

fMT was cloned from pMAL-MT (kindly provided by Wilfred Chen, University of California), the origin of the gene is the genome of Fucus vesiculosus.
